Hypnosis

[venaja]

Relax. Let all your worries about the day go and just relax. Slowly roll your eyes up as if trying to see the back of your eyelids. Roll them up further. Roll them up more. Hold them there, but relax the rest of your body. By now, your eyes are probably burning, maybe hurting, and more than likely, they want to close. Don't let them close.

Speaking of hypnosis, have you seen this story of the real-life zombie shooter game?

For multiple reasons, I think it's a hoax. But it's kind of interesting/weird.

If this is real, this is the cruelest thing I've ever seen. That is just TERRIBLE.

Yeah, that is one of several reasons I doubt the whole thing. It seems like the hypnotist would be risking all sorts of huge legal troubles (e.g. if the guy, who totally did not consent to the experiment, hurt himself or someone else).

And why would his friends just grin and go along with some stranger coming out and kidnapping their friend who'd suddenly fainted?

And it seemed to imply they created the video game specifically for the show, which seems unlikely to me.

And some of the camera angles seemed a little too conveniently staged. And there happened to be 2 empty chairs in the control room for the friends to sit in. And after rewaking up the guy seemed improbably chipper (and not visibly sweating or dissheveled). Etc etc.

Around here they have these hypnosis seminars where they get a two or three dozen people into a room and they teach them all how to hypnotize themselves. The speaker's talk sounded very much like those tapes seem to.

I've just added you. You seem awesome, I've come here via a number of mutal friends.
